2012 GLPA Conference
The 48th annual GLPA Conference has come and gone. It was a huge success. Special thanks to Sue and Buck Batson and their team for a wonderful conference!
These conference photographs illustrate just a few of the conference's many highlights. Additional photographs will appear in the winter issue of the GLPA Newsletter (which will be completed in early December) and all photographs will be included on the Conference Proceedings CD (which should be mailed out in late-January of 2013).
You can also continue to watch the recorded video clips of portions of the conference by visiting our Conference Video Streaming Page.
